As part of APPAM's ongoing effort to showcase JPAM authors' work to the APPAM membership and the public policy world at large, we asked JPAM article authors to answer a couple of questions about their research.

What was the genesis of the idea for their research/paper?

What is the main conclusion that becomes evident from their research? (Or, what is their main takeaway?)

What are some of the more interesting or surprising findings/conclusions did they find in the process of bringing it together?
